THUNDER BAY — Police in Thunder Bay have made an arrest after a slew of vehicles were stolen in recent weeks.
Over the last two weeks, the Thunder Bay Police Service received reports of thefts from multiple businesses after lockboxes had been breached.
On the morning of Aug. 15, a Vickers Street business had its lockbox broken into, which led to a customer's vehicle being stolen.
The following week, on Aug. 20, an Alloy Drive business also had its lockbox broken into.
The suspect stole a vehicle, along with the sets of keys for several others.
The next day, on Aug. 21, a lockbox of a Central Avenue business was damaged and vehicle keys were accessed, leading to two more vehicles being stolen.
Investigators determined the same male suspect was involved in all three incidents.
Once a suspect was identified, they were located on Aug. 27 and arrested.
A 32-year-old from St. Catharines was charged with three counts of breaking and entering, four charges for stealing vehicles, and a mischief charge.
After the accused appeared in court, they were remanded into custody with a future appearance date.
